The 7th of September is International Clean Air Day, a celebration of the importance of initiatives for the improvement of air quality. As part of its environmental activities in 2024, Rosneft has allocated more than 4 billion roubles for air quality protection.

A responsible attitude towards the environment is one of Rosneft’s core principles. In 2024, the Company’s green investments reached 74 billion roubles, exceeding the previous year’s level by 16%. Rosneft has allocated almost 200 billion roubles to environmental protection in just three years.

In support of the federal Clean Air project, and to promote Russia’s national development goals, the Company has developed an action plan to create a corporate programme that will reduce industrial emissions.

Rosneft’s subsidiaries implement a range of measures in their production activities. These include investment projects that benefit the environment and the use of highly effective environmental protection equipment. The Company is developing and implementing air quality control systems and installing stationary air quality monitoring stations. It is also fitting mobile environmental laboratories with advanced equipment.

The Company’s primary strategic objective is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Rosneft has been implementing a programme to control fugitive emissions of methane and other hydrocarbons for several years. In 2024, over 3,000 km of pipelines were surveyed using aerial monitoring. Additionally, over 800 facilities at production sites were surveyed using ground-based monitoring equipment.

The Company’s environmental benchmarks include increasing the production of natural gas as a fuel with lower greenhouse gas emissions, and developing and launching new products that enable consumers to reduce their environmental impact and carbon footprint, and improve the efficiency of their production facilities.

Rosneft has always prioritised preserving and restoring natural resources, including forests. Forests help to purify the air and naturally absorb greenhouse gases. In 2024 alone, the Company’s enterprises planted over 11 million trees of various species in the regions of operation. Rosneft has planted around 37 million trees in total over the last three years.
